Colostrum bottle for calves
There are two methods for feeding colostrum: esophageal tube feeder or colostrum bottle. Time, equipment and personal preference influence the decision to use one of these two methods. Colostrum Counsel discusses the effects of esophageal tube vs. bottle feeding colostrum in newborn calves.
Tube feeding is typically considered as a more time-efficient method. It only takes a matter of minutes to feed a large volume of colostrum. In contrast, feeding colostrum through a colostrum bottle takes more time, yet it is considered “more natural” as it mimics the calf suckling from the dam.
The first 24 hours is important for calves
The newly born young animal is unable to produce many of the substances necessary for its body. Newborn calves should be ensured to receive 1-2 liters of colostrum within half an hour after birth. You can drink 4-6 liters of colostrum, which is 8-10% of your body weight, in the first 24 hours.
Follow the colostrum 123 rule: feed all calves the first milk the cow produces (colostrum) within 2 hours of birth and feed at least 3 litres. 3. Colostrum quality decreases as the time from calving to milking for the first time increases; collect as soon and as hygienically as possible.
